We have the bare bones too, bought my own dump pouch.
Really with nothing written in stone, its going to be different from unit to unit.It is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.

dump pouch or drop leg pouch?"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

Remove rear strap from issue dump pouch.Place strap in secure location so it doesn't get lost.Attach pouch to vest at left hip.Tighten straps till pouch top is just below bottom hem of vest.Tape straps.pouch will be empty most of the time so wont bounce.When needed all you will have in it is empties anyway(max4).
Also seeing as most of you don't get issued Respirators you can attach the Resi pouch to the front of the bergen or side of the patrol pack.makes a handy pouch for your basha kit!"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

I posted on this already in the "Good kit/helpfull hints forum".
Why do you ask? Areb the RDF issued the IPLCS now?"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"
